The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI40X50FA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its no-tie-rod, hard-anodized profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore — a space-saver on tight machines.
Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard profile cylinder saves valuable machine space by being noticeably shorter than a same-bore ISO 15552 unit. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel omits external rods to resist wear, while the two-way piston seal retains grease for a long, low-friction service life. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE position switches.
Plan for about 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Air connects via a G1/4 port, and the FA front-flange mount provides a rigid fixed-body interface for straightforward plate mounting.

Actuates a lightweight routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 50 mm stroke to push cartons onto a secondary belt with precise timing.
Ejects molded plastic components from a press bed, utilizing the 628 N push force to reliably knock parts clear of the mold cavity.
Opens and closes hinged lids on automated sorting bins, where the FA flange mount secures the body firmly to the machine subframe.
When sizing, verify if the 32 mm bore (402 N push @0.5 MPa) is sufficient, or step up to the 50 mm bore (982 N push @0.5 MPa) if your 40 mm choice underperforms. The 50 mm stroke keeps the rod short for excellent rigidity. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, you must select a magnet-equipped variant if you require CMSE or DMSE sensor feedback.
Remember that a standard cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends. For suspended or vertical loads that must remain fixed during a pressure loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 879 N push and 739 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G1/4.
It is a JIS-standard profile cylinder that is shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 40 mm bore. Additionally, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE magnetic switches; you must purchase the -S variant for position sensing.
